Belkyra® in Vancouver, BC

The fat that we have under our chins is very resistant to diet and exercise. Until recently, there wasn’t much to be done about it. However, we now have a new, non-surgical treatment to get rid of double chins. Belkyra (also known as Kybella in the US) is injected right into the affected area and eats away the chin or submental fat.

How does Belkyra work?

Belkyra is very safe and highly effective. It is identical to deoxycholic acid that your body naturally produces, and it helps to absorb the fats in your gut. The acid breaks down the fat cells, and your body’s natural elimination process gets rid of them. If needed, you can receive up to 50 injections in a single treatment and can have up to six treatments. The treatment is equally popular with men and women.

What is involved in the procedure?

The treatment area will be mapped out and marked with a template of little dots. The Belkyra will be injected into those dots. The entire procedure takes about 10 minutes. Ater the injections, you will have mild swelling which will last a few days. Follow up will be done in about five weeks to determine if you need another treatment. Most clients will have between two and six total treatments to achieve their ideal results.

A double chin is also a sign of aging. Once you have completed this permanent fat removal process, an additional benefit is a younger looking you with more defined contours to your profile. This is a very effective alternative to liposuction or surgery. Call us today and schedule an appointment to see if you are a candidate for this cutting-edge procedure. Once you are finished with your procedures, you will be less self-conscious or embarrassed by your appearance. You will look as if you have lost weight and be happier overall.
